I read this after reading Debt, which I consider near the top of my fave dark erotica reads. I can't believe I read through this whole trilogy curious to know how it would conclude. I wasn't in love with the characters. Taylor was constantly angsty and brooding for no reason; I didn't care for him. More than that, through 3 books, the sex scenes, some hot, got repetitive. The whole trilogy depended on a few twists with little payoff here and there. I like that the author has a penchant for twisted scenarios and dark pasts, but this trilogy could've been trimmed down.

An incredible 5 stars!
Oh wow! This series is absolutely brilliant, it takes you on one hell of a journey, full of mystery, gripping suspense, erotic sex, revenge, murder, secrets and lies, making this a thrilling read! Shyla and Taylor are perfect characters, the story line is excellent it pulls you in from the very start and keeps you hostage until the incredible end, with not a dull moment in between. The editing wasn't great, but every thing else was, so I can live with that. To say I loved this series is an understatement, it's one of the best I've read and I've read a lot of them so I'm going to highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

This started off good but then I don't know I just lost it!! I didnt like book 3 at all it was good to see what was going on but it was just all too much for me!! I got bored but wanted to finish it and see if it had a good end but it didn't!! It did feel like a mix between 50 and crossfire series but added more dark crap to it which made it loose it's edge!! Good try but I won't be rereading this in the future sorry just not my cup of tea!!! X

May 29, 2015I feel bad rating books I DNF. This was just not for me. The heroine, Shyla, was weird and so passive and practically a doormat. I kind of want to tattoo "Yes, Taylor..whatever you say Taylor" on her forehead. Nauseating. Taylor was also not Alpha at all. Im not even talking about his OCDs as that was an interesting story line, but his personality. Just sooo nice and a little passive. Hope other ppl have a better time if they decide to go for it.

Didn't love it. The plot was twisted and certainly wasn't obvious. I gave it two stars for the plot development. The sex was kinky and graphic. In fact, and I am no prude, brutal.
I think the problem was that I didn't love the characters. I didn't see the why anywhere. And there wasn't one redeeming character anywhere. the lessons they learned weren't all good ones.
I am sure some will love this series but for me, this was a "hard limit".
